The Talk wouldn't work as a 30 minute format. I think it's done if this gets picked up

[Soapsuds]

On one to blame but Bradley Bell. I still think it will be moved to 2:30 timeslot wth Y&R no longer its lead in.

[Faulkner]

I love this. And here we were speculating that MVJ was leaving B&B to join Patrick Mulcahey over on GH. Little did we know that she had far more ambitious plans.

Hopefully she’s got Michael R. Jackson on the line, as he loves soaps. Get a Pulitzer Prize winner as a co-HW.

The Talk should've been cancelled years ago. It's been a hot mess for a long time.

The reason I think this may happen is that there's actually a quote from CBS as well, and they announced this. So, they must be serious. The questions are...will it be half-hour or an hour...and what time slot would it go in? TPIR still does really well. Y&R just got a four year renewal. I'd assume B&B is okay as well. Let's Make a Deal seems to do fairly well and must be cheap to produce. It could go in the slot where The Talk is. That show has had constant upheaval, cast changes, and it's never really caught on like The View on ABC. 

I actually think a 30 minute show would be a better bet to launch and much cheaper to start up.

I can't see them doing it as a half hour TBH

[Taoboi]

I admit as I play catch-up. This has crossed my mind as well.

 

First PM is back at GM. And we speculated over MVJ. Y&R gets its renewal for four years...which was surprising. And then MVJ left B&B...the place where great writers go to retire. And we speculated over her to GM. And now THIS...while B&B only got a one year renewal.

 

Things to make you go hmmm.

They all look good. But I would think they would put it between Y&R and B&B. Most people are used to Y&R as a lead in, put in new soap so people can get a taste or even put it there to make those B&B fans wait. and while they wait...oops...look! a new soap! 

[Contessa Donatella]

Or even, dare I say it, cancel The Talk?!!

[dragonflies]

I think it's got a better shot at succeeding if it's on after YR than after BOLD(which can barely hold onto a good portion of YR's audience as it is)

I just hope it's not in some random time slot. I remember when I was a teen, Generations was on at 11 am where I lived, so odd lol 

[BetterForgotten]

Did it say exactly where production is taking place - NYC or LA?

Or could it be an Atlanta based production? Atlanta’s emerged as a hub for cheaper film/television production and is often referred to as the “Black Hollywood.” 

[wingwalker]

The best time for it would be after Y&R and move B&B. That would give it the best shot at succeeding.
